Camby had a total of 24 games last season at 10mins per game. And his contract is non-guaranteed next season. So that would make him an expiring, if im not mistaken.

Novak is a serviceable player but even on this Raptors team he's only good as the 8th (as the roster currently stands) man.

More picks acquired than the # of players.

Seems like a rebuild move. But again, they might flip what they got for better players.

I agree it may look like the rebuild move, Novak is overpaid (but he can shoot three while other Raps can't) and Camby is pretty much done(but he can be good mentor for JV defense.) + Picks...It's more like insurance move. Just trade this "devil" and move on.

It's not a rebuild move to cut Bargs. He should've been gone before the trade deadline, but BC clearly couldn't part with him. Rebuilding would mean cutting players who are in the team's plans for the future.

First off, together Novak and Camby are at 8 Mil, thus we cut our salaries by 2Mil.
Secondly we get 3 draft picks for the future,
Third we get rid of Bargs.
Fourth, Novak is usable as our third big with a great 3pt% (But hopefully for less than 20 mins a night!)

MU is a genius. I was afraid we would get less than a bag of pretzels for the big man, and here we are with a serviceable 3pt threat, saving money, and making draft picks (including a first rounder!)

Now, this is the first year Ive been scowering Twitter for reactions, and I have to admit some casual Rap fans are pretty dumb:

@austin_mckee9 basically the raptors are giving up one of their best players for scrubs and a draft pick

No, apparently it's two 2nd rounders, and one 1st rounder (2016) Not sure if it's protected or not, I would think not tho.

The Denver Nuggets had the option of swapping their 2016 first round pick with the Knicks because of the Carmelo Anthony trade(http://www.nbadraft.net/nba_draft_trades/2013), so do they still have the option now that the Knicks pick belongs to the Raptors?

Correction: it's still not July 1st yet, so it could still happen tonight, and that's what Beck's saying now. Pleasepleaseplease let this come through. If we're lucky, Camby retires and takes a player development job with the Raptors, getting his salary off the cap. Novak's I don't mind swallowing; he's at least useful in spots.
